Linear Regression Slope 20 (M1)Trend

Timeframe M1 · unit %

What it measures

The slope of the best-fit straight line through the last 20 closes, normalized as a percentage of the final close per bar. Captures the average rate of price change over the window.

How Janira reads it (bullish vs bearish)

Positive: the least-squares line tilts upward - net upward drift over 20 bars. Negative: tilts downward. Magnitude expresses how much price moves per bar as a fraction of its level.

In plain language

Imagine placing a ruler along the last 20 closes to find the best straight line. This number measures how steeply that ruler tilts - uphill (positive) or downhill (negative) - relative to the price level.

Scenarios

Sharply positive slope: a consistent upward drift where most bars close higher; the trend component is dominant over noise.
Near zero: the 20-bar window is essentially flat on average - price is oscillating around a horizontal mean.
Sharply negative slope: a consistent downward drift; sellers have been controlling the direction for the window's duration.
Slope reversing from positive to negative over successive bars: the average direction of price movement over the window has rotated - a trend slowdown or transition is underway.
